Name a chair and describe where it is or who owns it.
The idea
The vowel-final noun sandalye means chair. A specific direct object takes linking y before the accusative: sandalyeyi. First-person possession gives sandalyem, while the plural is sandalyeler.
Examples
- Ahşap sandalye pencerenin yanında duruyor.The wooden chair stands by the window.
- Sandalyeyi masanın yanına çekiyorum.I am pulling the chair next to the table.
- Dün bahçeye sandalyeleri taşıdık.Yesterday we carried the chairs to the garden.
- Bu sandalyenin ayağı kırık.A leg of this chair is broken.
- Sandalyem kapının arkasında.My chair is behind the door.
- Üç sandalye salonda kaldı.Three chairs remained in the living room.

Watch out
After a number, Turkish normally uses the singular: üç sandalye, not üç sandalyeler. The English plural does not require a Turkish plural ending here.
Try it yourself
Use the definite object: I pull this chair beside the table. Bu ___ masanın yanına çekiyorum.
